Hilabian da na pagbati!
When
the breakup of Kathniel became a national issue, one can ask: Are we that
emotional that such things become an object of the majority’s attention? Are we
allowing emotions to take over our cognitive processing?
Emotional
overwhelm according to goodtherapy.org is a state of being beset by
intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can affect your ability to
think and act rationally. It could also prevent you from performing daily
tasks.
There
were those who cried helplessly. Social media were flooded with comments, memes
and other sensitive and insensitive comments. Indeed, these platforms allowed
everyone to become dancers, performers, newscasters and psychologists as well.
But
what happens when you allow yourself to be too emotional over things that you
resonate on breakups of film stars?
Emotional
investment is actively the heart ruling the head, to give balance to that
statement Friedrich Nietzche said “many find their hearts when they have lost
their head” (Larkin, 2015).
There
are people around us who gets angry over petty things. They blurt out words
while reacting to the stimulus. They cannot control their emotions since they
have invested too much on them.
A
highly sensitive person (HSP) is a neurodivergent individual who is thought to
have an increased or deeper central nervous system sensitivity to physical,
emotional, or social stimuli (Scott, 2023).
There
is no official diagnosis that HSP is a mental illness. High sensitivity is a
personality trait that involves increased responsiveness to both positive and
negative influences.
Research
shows that a lack of parental warmth growing up may cause a child to develop
high sensitivity and carry this trait into adulthood. The same goes for
negative early childhood experiences (Chen, Moyzis, et al, 2011).
Too
much investing on emotions leads to friction. Always, these persons cause some
sort of disagreement around since they base their reactions to emotions and NOT
reason.
